kiwix-serve should inform the user which zim file/website their search result came from #478

Currently, the web server displays search results in a very ambiguous way:

There is no way to differentiate the results, or to tell what type of content one would get if they were to click each of them. It would be nice if there was a way to have kiwix-serve display the name of the site each result comes from.

@SoopaKhell which zim file is that?

@SoopaKhell which zim file is that?

@kelson42 I believe the first two and the last two are the Philosophy Stack Exchange file from Kiwix.

The third is from Simple English Wikipedia

This concerns the multizim search which was available via the kiwix serve homepage. This has been deactivated temproraly as long as we don't have found a solution to the scalability of the multizim search.

When we will be so far, we could think about this reported problem. Adding a small icon (zim icon) before each result woukd maybe be good enough?

@kelson42 Yes, that would definitely go a long way.
